Amid A Reversal In Investor Sentiment, The S&P 500 Rose Over 6% Last Month, Resulting In The Strongest May Performance For The Index In 35 years

A slew of US-listed international ETFs hit 52-week highs on Wednesday, highlighting a growing investor interest shift toward global equities amid shifting macroeconomic tides and geopolitical realignments. Among the top performers were the Schwab International Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHY#NYSE">SCHY</a>), Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXUS#NASDAQ">VXUS</a>), Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VEA#NYSE">VEA</a>) and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>), all of which reached new 52-week highs. Their jump is part of a larger trend: investors are increasingly directing their portfolios toward developed overseas markets, wanting both diversification and performance advantage as U.S. stocks lag.

International Edge
Throughout most of the last decade, global equities were the wallflowers at the international investment dance, present but rarely chosen. All that is changing quickly. The iShares All Country World Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACWI#NASDAQ">ACWI</a>), widely regarded as a global equity bellwether, is ahead by more than 5% this year to date, while the S&amp;P 500 has risen a paltry 0.5%. Increasing outperformance has prompted speculation about a so-called &#8220;Sell America&#8221; trade, sparked by Moody&#8217;s recent downgrade of America&#8217;s credit rating, with investors redirecting capital from U.S. markets to opportunities abroad.
&#8220;The global trade landscape is shifting. U.S. policy decisions are increasingly disrupting long-standing trade flows. If the U.S. turns inward, those opportunities will likely be backfilled by regional champions in countries like Japan, the U.K., Canada, and Australia,&#8221; Bancreek Capital CEO Andrew Skatoff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/05/45240659/exclusive-nobody-believed-a-100-international-etf-could-beat-1000-rivals-until-this-ceo-proved-them-wrong-his-mantra-precision-over-breadth">told Benzinga earlier this month</a>. The end result? A growing valuation differential between the U.S. and global markets that many believe is ready for alpha creation.
Tailwinds Behind The Trend
A number of drivers are fueling this global shift. 
Valuation Discounts: International developed markets continue to be discounted compared to U.S. equities and present a compelling entry point for long-term investors.
Geopolitical Realignment: Concepts like supply chain regionalization and de-globalization are driving the emergence of regional economic giants.
Macroeconomic Momentum: European equities, for instance, are experiencing robust year-to-date results. The Euro Stoxx Index is rallying around 11% in dollar terms, with certain Eastern European markets such as Poland rising 40–50%, says Neil Azous, CIO of Rareview Capital.
Rareview Capital founder and CIO Neil Azous said in a recent <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/market-etfs-major-inflows-going-155522108.html">interview </a>with ETF Report that if you still believe in global diversification after all these years of it not really seeming to work, this could be your time.
Early Innings, Long Game
Despite the performance uptick, many analysts view this rotation as still in its early stages, with a long way to go. Azous said that U.S. market caps dwarf those in Europe, so even modest inflows can significantly move the needle.
In addition, the power of higher corporate profits offshore is still largely unrealized. If European and other foreign companies start reporting significant earnings growth, Azous believes the trend could shift from a tactical asset positioning change to a full-fledged secular rebalancing.
A Strategic Rebalancing
Outside of short-term outperformance, the move into international ETFs reflects a more fundamental rethinking of portfolio construction. Following decades of U.S.-focused investing, many asset managers are rebalancing to find more robust, geographically diversified portfolios, a strategy bolstered by shifting economic realities and cross-border investment flows.
Thus far, the global ETF rally is more than just the result of performance, it is a sign of a sea change in investor sentiment. If global markets continue to break away from U.S. underperformance, the trend might not only persist but intensify, one regional breakout after another.

Investors Ditch US Stocks As International ETFs Hit 52-Week Highs, Here's What's Driving The Portfolio Pivot

Amid Stock Market Volatility, Data From Axios Suggests The S&P 500 During President Trump's First 100 Days Was The Worst Start To A Presidency Since Gerald Ford Was in office.

The Hang Seng Index briefly crossed into bear market territory at one point on Wednesday, losing over 20% from its recent high following the U.S.&#8217;s escalation of tariffs on Chinese imports. 
Although the index pared some of the losses on Thursday with 2.1% gains after President Donald Trump decided on a 90-day pause, the shockwaves are being felt across a variety of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">U.S.-listed ETFs</a>, focusing investor attention on trade-sensitive assets.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs Under Pressure</h1>
Direct exposure to Hong Kong has taken a tangible dent. The iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWH#NYSE">EWH</a>), which tends to follow closely the performance of the Hang Seng, has tracked the index&#8217;s sharp depreciation over recent weeks. The fund has declined 12.26% in the past month. The ETF&#8217;s decline is reflective of investor disappointment in the region&#8217;s prospects for growth, as well as general concern regarding the build-up of geopolitical tensions.
But the effect extends well beyond Hong Kong-centric funds. A number of ETF categories with indirect exposure to China or global trade patterns are exhibiting signs of strain:
Emerging Market ETFs (Ex-China) such as the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMXC#NASDAQ">EMXC</a>) have experienced renewed popularity as investors attempt to avoid direct Chinese equity risk. Yet these funds are still exposed to general macroeconomic weakness due to the trade war. The shares in the fund have collectively declined about 3.4% over the past month.
Global Equity ETFs like the Vanguard Total World Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VT#NYSE">VT</a>) and iShares MSCI ACWI ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACWI#NASDAQ">ACWI</a>) are not isolated either. They both have positions in Chinese and Hong Kong equities, and although their diversification helps take the sting, the Asian equities pullback is starting to take its toll on overall return.

U.S. Sector ETFs are also responding to the escalating tension.
Technology ETFs such as SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NASDAQ">XLK</a>) are at risk from China&#8217;s revenue and supply chain disruptions. In the past four weeks, the fund has declined more than 6%.
Industrial ETFs such as the SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Industrial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) might be hit if Chinese tariffs bear on U.S. exports of manufacturing or essential imported parts.
Agricultural ETFs like the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBA#NYSE">DBA</a>) might be hurt if China retaliates by restricting purchases of U.S. agricultural products.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Fallout </h1>
The Hang Seng&#8217;s brief plunge into bear market range — its most steep drop in more than a year — has increased worries about global economic stability. Washington&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">plan to add tariffs</a> on a wide range of Chinese merchandise ignited the decline in the index, which invited a retaliatory response from China — an 84% tariff on U.S. goods.
Although the initial impact has been on Chinese and Hong Kong markets, the wider implications are difficult to avoid. Investors can now expect greater market volatility as news surrounding trade talks continues to influence sentiment.
Possible further <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/about/news/press-releases/2025/03/global-economic-outlook-uncertain-as-growth-slows-inflationary-pressures-persist-and-trade-policies-cloud-outlook.html">slowing </a>of global growth, particularly if extended trade barriers limit cross-border investment and disrupt supply chains, are also on the cards.
Inflationary pressures within the U.S., with tariffs elevating the price of imported merchandise, can also potentially make the policy course of the Federal Reserve more challenging.
As trade tensions intensify, the performance of region-specific and sectoral ETFs provides a window into how markets are pricing in risk. With the Hang Seng&#8217;s fall serving as a canary in the coal mine, investors might need to rethink their allocations and brace for extended turbulence in the coming months.
